>So do I.
>In fact, I raised a couple like that.
>They were slow to get out into the world, so they stayed home and mooched off mom and dad for a while after college.
>Subsidies? Hell- they got a completely free ride!
>Both finally got out, made tons of money on their own, and went on to have terrific lives.

>How were mom and dad able to do that?
>Well, dad was a moocher himself. He went thru college on the GI bill, supported in part by a widowed mother (another moocher - one of Reagan's "Welfare Queens") who had been on welfare for a while herself till she got on her feet and worked at least 2 jobs most of her life.

>So, yes, I know a lot moochers like the one you mentioned.

I wouldn't call the GI bill mooching. It seems like the least we can do for vets.
